You don't run for the presidency out of nostalgia.

When you start one of these programs, school lunch programs, in a country that heretofore had nothing of that kind, immediately school enrollment jumps dramatically. Girls and boys get to the classroom with the promise of a good meal once a day.

When people ask if the United States can afford to place on trial the president, if the system can stand impeachment, my answer is, "Can we stand anything else?

You know, sometimes, when they say you're ahead of your time, it's just a polite way of saying you have a real bad sense of timing.

I seek the presidency because I believe deeply in the American promise and can no longer accept the diminishing of that promise.

Democrats believe that the federal government is not our enemy, it's our partner.

I always thought of myself as a good old South Dakota boy who grew up here on the prairie.
